Book Synopsis

Maybe it's the end of the world, but not for Candace Chen, a millennial, first-generation American and office drone meandering her way into adulthood in Ling Ma's offbeat, wryly funny, apocalyptic satire, Severance.

A stunning, audacious book with a fresh take on both office politics and what the apocalypse might bring. Michael Schaub, NPR.org

A satirical spin on the end times-- kind of like The Office meets The Leftovers. --Estelle Tang, Elle
